' To all whom t may concern.:A

Be it known that I, HENRY H. WHITE, a citizen of the United Statels, residing at Muskogee, in'. the county of Muskogee and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Power Delivering or Hoisting Winches, of which themesh with gears secured to the inside of* each drum. A further object of my invention is to provide a hoist on whichthe drums are driven by separated sectional axle shafts" and maybe used together or separately.

A further object of my invention is the cutting in two of each axle shaft, so that 'the wheels which are mounted on the outer members thereof may be at rest whenthe @tractor is o erating, and driving one, or

both, cable rums.

A further object of my invention is the utilization of the inside of each cable drum,

for an expanding brake band, which is operated by a foot brake on one of the drums and hand brake on the other, one of which may be used when both drums are in gear as an auxiliary'footxbrake and the other asv an emergency brake.

A further object of my invention is the provision of free release drums spinning on the axle housings, which is made possible by means of hand or foot expandingv brakes internally arranged in each drum holding the load, and the disengaging of one, or both, drums by sliding the pinions on the jack shaft inwardly, out of gear with the external gears secured to the .internal part of each drum., *Y*

The invention furtherrelates tothe manner in which the pinion and gearing are assembled in the specially designed axle and gear housing so that the eower delivery to the axle shaft-s is increas but in the same vratio as the tractor, namely, thatthe axle shafts" can be operated in low, intermediate, high and reverse, thereby securing the same ratio as that of the tractor, and that in so operating,.it does not in any way interfere with,v or injure the mechanism of the tractor.

The invention further provides, and relates to the manner in -which the pinions and gears are built into the tractor so that the power delivering assembly may function at all times without 1n any way interfering with the usefulness for which the tractor was designed, and without the necessary substitution and equipment of especiallydesigned wheels.A

' In the drawings:

Fig. 1 Ais a top plan view of the rear portion of the tractor showing the improved features;

Fig'. 2xis ar horizontal longitudinal section through the axle housings;

Fig. 3 Ais a rear elevation;

Fig. 4 is a, transverse section on the line o 4 4 of Fig. 2.

Numeral 1 indicates the differential housing enclosing the differential drive, shaft and gearing for drivin the rear axles 2 2 and the rear tractor w eels 3 3. Secured to either side of the differential housing are the axle housings 4 and 5which are anged and secured tothe differential housing. Extending outwardly from the ends of each housing is a bearing 6 which supports the louter ends of the axles 2 2. These bearings 6 `also form a/ bearihgfor the cable drums 7 7, the hubs v8 8 Vof which surround the bearings 6, the inner ends of thehubs being received in annular grooves 9 in the face of the axle housings 4e and 5.

Arranged at the rear of the machine and supported in suitablevbearings 10 1O carried by the housings 4 and 5 is ajack shaft consisting of two members 11 and 12, said membersl being connected together by a` clutch 13, the latter being actuated by a clutch lever 14. Each member 11 and 12 is provided with a pinion V15, the pinions 15-15 mesh with comparatively large pinions 16 16 keyed to the rear axles 2 2.

As observed, each ofy the main drive axles is sectionalforming outer members 17 17 to which the'tractor wheels are secured. The,

' sections 2 and 1 7 on each side ofthe differential housin are connected together by suitable detail c utches 18-18 controlled by clutchV levers 19-19. This construction is v desirable in that it permits.'- the tractor wheels to be disconnected from the driving axles and ermitting the jack shaft to be driven by t e gears 16-16 which are keyed to the inner stubs of the main drlve axles.

. VEach of the cable drums 7-7 ha\'se= cured thereto a comparativelylarge gear 20 secured to the flange of the hub 8. `These large gears mesh with pinions 21-21 slidably keyed to the outer ends of the' jack shafts 11 and -12. Each of these ,pinions is connected to a shiftlever 22, the latter being pivoted as at 23 lto a bracket extending from the Icorrespondin bearing 10. The outer `:tree ends of the 'ft levers 22,-22 are con-I lnected by links 24-4-24 to actuating levers t '25-25 accessible from the operators seat :whereb from t e drum, permitting either drum to,

either pinion may be disengaged' idlefif desirableu on its bearing.' As a means for' controlling the drums, each is rovided vwitlran internal expanding brake rum 26, one vof=which is controlled by a foot lever 27 4pivoted upon the 'rock( shaft 28 supported '1n suitable lugs 4or bearings 29-29 extending outwardly from the axle housing. On the outer. end of the rock shaft 28 isa brake expander 30 which engages' the expanding band 26. The o posite brake f band 26 is likewise controllo by a brake expander 31 keyedto the rock shaft 32 suplported in suitable lugs orbearings 33 ex tendingoutwardly from the opposite housing, th1s rock shaft 32 being controlled by a i hand lever 34. v

, `The objeetin roviding both afoot lever and a hand bra e lever for operatin the 'separate brake bands is to permit both rums bei" controlled by the one foot lever when the jack ,shafts 11 and 12 are clutched toether and workin'g -in unison. It is obvious yt at the brake4 lever would work in the samefcapacity under these conditions, butl the foot lever is 'considered more dependable.
